TOMB 29 (continuation)
The
facade of the enclosure is divided in two parts by
three brick half-columns crowned with Corinthian capitals.
The entrance is located in the right part.
Above the entrance you can still notice the place of a now disappeared
relief.
In the left part of the same facade we see a marble plate with an
inscription flanked by two other reliefs, representing the profession
of the tomb owner.
The inscription goes:
D(is) M(anibus)
VERRIA ZOSIME ET
VERRIVS EVHELPISTVS
FECERVNT SIBI ET
LIBERTIS LIBERTABVSQVE
POSTERISQVE EORVM
Verria Zosime and Verrius
Euhelpistus had made the grave for themselves and
for their freed slaves, and the descendants.
Below the inscription is a small rectangular window.
